I am estranged from my mother. I’ll answer if she calls, but she doesn’t. I’ll never call her. She is deeply mentally ill, and I cannot separate her from her illness. I suffered the conspiracies and delusions of grandeur for fifteen years, and I’m done now. I consider this healthy mental self-defense, though I don’t judge my sister for enduring a quarterly visit to her. Everyone must decide their own limits.
